XalanText::XalanText ( | const XalanText & theSource )`[protected]`

## Member Function Documentation

XalanNode * XalanText::appendChild ( | XalanNode * newChild )`[pure virtual]`

Adds the node `newChild` to the end of the list of children of this node.

If the `newChild` is already in the tree, it is first removed.

Parameters:

  newChild | The node to add.If it is a `DocumentFragment` object, the entire contents of the document fragment are moved into the child list of this node

Returns:
  The node added.

Reimplemented from XalanCharacterData.

Reimplemented in XObjectResultTreeFragProxyText, XalanCDATASection, XalanSourceTreeText, XercesCDATASectionBridge, XercesCDATASectionWrapper, XercesTextBridge, and XercesTextWrapper.

void XalanText::appendData ( | const XalanDOMString & arg )`[pure virtual]`

Append the string to the end of the character data of the node.

Upon success, `data` provides access to the concatenation of `data` and the `XalanDOMString` specified.

Parameters:

  arg | The `XalanDOMString` to append.

Exceptions:

  DOMException | NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this node is readonly.

Reimplemented from XalanCharacterData.

Reimplemented in XObjectResultTreeFragProxyText, XalanCDATASection, XalanSourceTreeText, XercesCDATASectionBridge, XercesCDATASectionWrapper, XercesTextBridge, and XercesTextWrapper.

XalanText * XalanText::cloneNode ( | bool deep ) const`[pure virtual]`

Returns a duplicate of this node.

This function serves as a generic copy constructor for nodes.

The duplicate node has no parent ( `parentNode` returns `null`.).
Cloning an `Element` copies all attributes and their values, including those generated by the XML processor to represent defaulted attributes, but this method does not copy any text it contains unless it is a deep clone, since the text is contained in a child `Text` node. Cloning any other type of node simply returns a copy of this node.

Parameters:

  deep | If `true`, recursively clone the subtree under the specified node; if `false`, clone only the node itself (and its attributes, if it is an `Element`).

Returns:
  The duplicate node.

Reimplemented from XalanCharacterData.

Reimplemented in XObjectResultTreeFragProxyText, XalanCDATASection, XalanSourceTreeText, XercesCDATASectionBridge, XercesCDATASectionWrapper, XercesTextBridge, and XercesTextWrapper.

void XalanText::deleteData ( | unsigned int offset,
| unsigned int count )`[pure virtual]`

Remove a range of characters from the node.

Upon success, `data` and `length` reflect the change.

Parameters:

  offset | The offset from which to remove characters.
  count | The number of characters to delete. If the sum of `offset` and `count` exceeds `length` then all characters from `offset` to the end of the data are deleted.

Exceptions:

  DOMException | INDEX_SIZE_ERR: Raised if the specified offset is negative or greater than the number of characters in `data`, or if the specified `count` is negative. NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this node is readonly.

Reimplemented from XalanCharacterData.

Reimplemented in XObjectResultTreeFragProxyText, XalanCDATASection, XalanSourceTreeText, XercesCDATASectionBridge, XercesCDATASectionWrapper, XercesTextBridge, and XercesTextWrapper.

const XalanNamedNodeMap * XalanText::getAttributes ( | ) const`[pure virtual]`

Gets a `NamedNodeMap` containing the attributes of this node (if it is an `Element`) or `null` otherwise.

Reimplemented from XalanCharacterData.

Reimplemented in XObjectResultTreeFragProxyText, XalanCDATASection, XalanSourceTreeText, XercesCDATASectionBridge, XercesCDATASectionWrapper, XercesTextBridge, and XercesTextWrapper.

const XalanNodeList * XalanText::getChildNodes ( | ) const`[pure virtual]`

Gets a `NodeList` that contains all children of this node.

If there are no children, this is a `NodeList` containing no nodes. The content of the returned `NodeList` is "live" in the sense that, for instance, changes to the children of the node object that it was created from are immediately reflected in the nodes returned by the `NodeList` accessors; it is not a static snapshot of the content of the node. This is true for every `NodeList`, including the ones returned by the `getElementsByTagName` method.

Reimplemented from XalanCharacterData.

Reimplemented in XObjectResultTreeFragProxyText, XalanCDATASection, XalanSourceTreeText, XercesCDATASectionBridge, XercesCDATASectionWrapper, XercesTextBridge, and XercesTextWrapper.

const XalanDOMString & XalanText::getData ( | ) const`[pure virtual]`

Returns the character data of the node that implements this interface.

The DOM implementation may not put arbitrary limits on the amount of data that may be stored in a `CharacterData` node. However, implementation limits may mean that the entirety of a node's data may not fit into a single `XalanDOMString`. In such cases, the user may call `substringData` to retrieve the data in appropriately sized pieces.

Exceptions:

  DOMException | NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised when the node is readonly.
  DOMException | DOMSTRING_SIZE_ERR: Raised when it would return more characters than fit in a `XalanDOMString` variable on the implementation platform.

Reimplemented from XalanCharacterData.

Reimplemented in XObjectResultTreeFragProxyText, XalanCDATASection, XalanSourceTreeText, XercesCDATASectionBridge, XercesCDATASectionWrapper, XercesTextBridge, and XercesTextWrapper.

const XalanDOMString & XalanText::getNamespaceURI ( | ) const`[pure virtual]`

Get the namespace URI of this node, or `null` if it is unspecified.

This is not a computed value that is the result of a namespace lookup based on an examination of the namespace declarations in scope. It is merely the namespace URI given at creation time.

For nodes of any type other than `ELEMENT_NODE` and `ATTRIBUTE_NODE` and nodes created with a DOM Level 1 method, such as `createElement` from the `Document` interface, this is always `null`.

Reimplemented from XalanCharacterData.

Reimplemented in XObjectResultTreeFragProxyText, XalanCDATASection, XalanSourceTreeText, XercesCDATASectionBridge, XercesCDATASectionWrapper, XercesTextBridge, and XercesTextWrapper.

XalanNode * XalanText::insertBefore ( | XalanNode * newChild,
| XalanNode * refChild )`[pure virtual]`

Inserts the node `newChild` before the existing child node `refChild`.

If `refChild` is `null`, insert `newChild` at the end of the list of children.
If `newChild` is a `DocumentFragment` object, all of its children are inserted, in the same order, before `refChild`. If the `newChild` is already in the tree, it is first removed. Note that a `Node` that has never been assigned to refer to an actual node is == null.

Parameters:

  newChild | The node to insert.
  refChild | The reference node, i.e., the node before which the new node must be inserted.

Returns:
  The node being inserted.

| const XalanDOMString & version ) const`[pure virtual]`

Tests whether the DOM implementation implements a specific feature and that feature is supported by this node.

Parameters:

  feature | The string of the feature to test. This is the same name as what can be passed to the method `hasFeature` on `DOMImplementation`.
  version | This is the version number of the feature to test. In Level 2, version 1, this is the string "2.0". If the version is not specified, supporting any version of the feature will cause the method to return `true`.

Returns:
  Returns `true` if the specified feature is supported on this node, `false` otherwise.

void XalanText::normalize ( | )`[pure virtual]`

Puts all `Text` nodes in the full depth of the sub-tree underneath this `Node`, including attribute nodes, into a "normal" form where only markup (e.g., tags, comments, processing instructions, CDATA sections, and entity references) separates `Text` nodes, i.e., there are no adjacent `Text` nodes.

This can be used to ensure that the DOM view of a document is the same as if it were saved and re-loaded, and is useful when operations (such as XPointer lookups) that depend on a particular document tree structure are to be used.

Note: In cases where the document contains `CDATASections`, the normalize operation alone may not be sufficient, since XPointers do not differentiate between `Text` nodes and `CDATASection` nodes.

Parameters:

  oldChild | The node being removed.

Returns:
  The node removed.

XalanNode * XalanText::replaceChild ( | XalanNode * newChild,
| XalanNode * oldChild )`[pure virtual]`

Replaces the child node `oldChild` with `newChild` in the list of children, and returns the `oldChild` node.

If `newChild` is a `DocumentFragment` object, `oldChild` is replaced by all of the `DocumentFragment` children, which are inserted in the same order.

If the `newChild` is already in the tree, it is first removed.

Parameters:

  newChild | The new node to put in the child list.
  oldChild | The node being replaced in the list.

Returns:
  The node replaced.

Reimplemented from XalanCharacterData.

Reimplemented in XObjectResultTreeFragProxyText, XalanCDATASection, XalanSourceTreeText, XercesCDATASectionBridge, XercesCDATASectionWrapper, XercesTextBridge, and XercesTextWrapper.

void XalanText::replaceData ( | unsigned int offset,
| unsigned int count,
| const XalanDOMString & arg )`[pure virtual]`

Replace the characters starting at the specified character offset with the specified string.

Parameters:

  offset | The offset from which to start replacing.
  count | The number of characters to replace. If the sum of `offset` and `count` exceeds `length` , then all characters to the end of the data are replaced (i.e., the effect is the same as a `remove` method call with the same range, followed by an `append` method invocation).
  arg | The `XalanDOMString` with which the range must be replaced.

Exceptions:

  DOMException | INDEX_SIZE_ERR: Raised if the specified offset is negative or greater than the number of characters in `data`, or if the specified `count` is negative. NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this node is readonly.

Reimplemented from XalanCharacterData.

Reimplemented in XObjectResultTreeFragProxyText, XalanCDATASection, XalanSourceTreeText, XercesCDATASectionBridge, XercesCDATASectionWrapper, XercesTextBridge, and XercesTextWrapper.

void XalanText::setNodeValue ( | const XalanDOMString & nodeValue )`[pure virtual]`

Sets the value of the node.

Any node which can have a nodeValue (

See also:
  getNodeValue()) will also accept requests to set it to a string. The exact response to this varies from node to node -- Attribute, for example, stores its values in its children and has to replace them with a new Text holding the replacement value.

For most types of Node, value is null and attempting to set it will throw DOMException(NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR). This will also be thrown if the node is read-only.

Reimplemented from XalanCharacterData.

Reimplemented in XObjectResultTreeFragProxyText, XalanCDATASection, XalanSourceTreeText, XercesCDATASectionBridge, XercesCDATASectionWrapper, XercesTextBridge, and XercesTextWrapper.

void XalanText::setPrefix ( | const XalanDOMString & prefix )`[pure virtual]`

Set the namespace prefix of this node.

Note that setting this attribute, when permitted, changes the `nodeName` attribute, which holds the qualified name, as well as the `tagName` and `name` attributes of the `Element` and `Attr` interfaces, when applicable.

Note also that changing the prefix of an attribute, that is known to have a default value, does not make a new attribute with the default value and the original prefix appear, since the `namespaceURI` and `localName` do not change.

Parameters:

  prefix | The prefix of this node.

Exceptions:

  DOMException

  INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR: Raised if the specified prefix contains an illegal character.
  NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this node is readonly.
  NAMESPACE_ERR: Raised if the specified `prefix` is malformed, if the specified prefix is "xml" and the `namespaceURI` of this node is different from "http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace", if specified prefix is "xmlns" and the `namespaceURI` is neither `null` nor an empty string, or if the `localName` is `null`.

Reimplemented from XalanCharacterData.

Reimplemented in XObjectResultTreeFragProxyText, XalanCDATASection, XalanSourceTreeText, XercesCDATASectionBridge, XercesCDATASectionWrapper, XercesTextBridge, and XercesTextWrapper.

XalanText * XalanText::splitText ( | unsigned int offset )`[pure virtual]`

Breaks this node into two nodes at the specified offset, keeping both in the tree as siblings.

This node then only contains all the content up to the `offset` point. And a new node of the same nodeType, which is inserted as the next sibling of this node, contains all the content at and after the `offset` point. When the `offset` is equal to the lenght of this node, the new node has no data.

Parameters:

  offset | The offset at which to split, starting from 0.

Returns:
  The new `Text` node.

Exceptions:

  DOMException | INDEX_SIZE_ERR: Raised if the specified offset is negative or greater than the number of characters in `data`. NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this node is readonly.

Reimplemented in XObjectResultTreeFragProxyText, XalanCDATASection, XalanSourceTreeText, XercesCDATASectionBridge, XercesCDATASectionWrapper, XercesTextBridge, and XercesTextWrapper.

XalanDOMString XalanText::substringData ( | unsigned int offset,
| unsigned int count ) const`[pure virtual]`

Extracts a range of data from the node.

Parameters:

  offset | Start offset of substring to extract.
  count | The number of characters to extract.

Returns:
  The specified substring. If the sum of `offset` and `count` exceeds the `length`, then all characters to the end of the data are returned.
